Rating: Summary: get what ya payt for Review: I have awsome taste in autio equipment with a degree in electronics and for the money under 900$ you'll find my first choice rotel spisifcly rx1050 if you cant aford it. yamaha also carys a nice line stay away from sony,dennon and realisic there not worth XXXX! harmon cardon is nice but there over priced for what you get quality is good but output power is nominal you'll get good value for your dollar if you stick with onkio, rotel or yamaha.
Rating: Summary: A True Value that's worth every cent you pay! Review: This is a great quality reciever for the money. The sound output is crisp and clear. Lot of features. You have more control over how you want to listen to the sound output(you have to read the manual). The only negative thing is the remote. I hate it! Buy a universal remote with this because the remote that it comes with is inconveniant, to say the least. You have to keep turning a dial to get to the component you want to control. It would have been better it they had just placed individual key for each component.. poor design! it comes with a 2 years parts and labor warranty.. no need to buy extra extended warranties.... most listeners will like this reciever's performance.. good luck hunting

Rating: Summary: The best sound, under rated Review: Yamaha receivers always produce clean sound. The power output is always under rated, add about 30% to they number they give. Most of the other receivers over rate the power output, they produce that power but it bad sound at the top end that can damage speakers. The only bad thing is the remote is just 'ok' it serves its purpose, but don't plan on using it for a unversal remote.
